Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

landlord/tenant rights

What is the law regarding moving

tenants out of your property when

you want to move a family member

in? I'm the landlord, do I have to

move in personally, or can my adult

son qualify as he is immediate family

and wishes to attend college in the

area. I have serious problems with

these tenants and want them out as

quickly as possible. I know I'll face a

problem with a 3 day or quit notice.

They have illegal tenants living there

with them and they'll ''squat'' in my

property as long as they can get

away with it. I can't afford to lose

any more rent because of them, so I

want their eviction completed in an

expedient manner and have been

told they will have to leave if I want

to move in to my property. I believe

it used to be any family member that

qualified, is that still true?

Re: landlord/tenant rights

If they are behind with the rent, 3 day notice to pay or quit.

What is an "illegal" tenant?

Whatever you were told, you still have to evict properly, and that means notice plus an unlawful detainer.
